Book on to a Slice of Research session

What is Slice of Research?

Slice of Research is a virtual doctoral peer-to-peer seminar series organised by the Doctoral College. It is an opportunity for doctoral students to practice presenting their research to a small interdisciplinary audience, and for interested doctoral students to find out about other research taking place at the University.

Our Slice of Research seminars take place on MS Teams for approximately 90 minutes. Usually we have three short presentations (10 minutes each) followed by opportunities for questions and further discussion. Our sessions are facilitated by our Doctoral Engagement Ambassadors.

Take part as a presenter

Do you want to develop your presentation skills? Do you want to practice before a conference? Do you want to get feedback on your research plans? If the answer is yes then why not consider presenting at a future Slice of Research session.

You'll need to prepare a short 10 minute presentation that can be delivered to a non-specialised audience. It doesn't matter whether you have all your results, you may want the opportunity to discuss something with others to gain a different perspective.

As a thank you for participating we'll even give you a £20 Amazon voucher.

To take part email doctoralengagement@bath.ac.uk
